about

What I Have examines the intrinsic dissatisfaction of those who know they will never have what (or who) they really want.

lyrics

Will I always want more than what I have?
How can I settle for half full when I want an overflowing glass?
Aren’t you dying to get what’s coming next?
How do you stay for good when you only stopped to rest?

It’d be a beautiful life if only I could see
Anything other than who’s not in front of me
Endless wishes in a bottle, I’d still wanna leave
It’s not what you are, it’s who you’re not, baby

I will always want more than what I have
How could I settle for half full when I want an overflowing glass?
Guess I shoulda told you ‘bout my past
I could never stay for good, I only stopped to rest

Now that you hate me I’ll tell you the whole damn thing
From the minute I met you it was all part of a scheme
It was a freezing cold winter, I was waiting for the spring
To let you go so I could chase my stupid dreams

I will always want more than what I have
I could never settle for half full I need an overflowing glass
I can’t stop myself from thinking like that
I know what I want and it’s not what I have
I know what I want and it’s not what I have
I know what I want and it’s not what I have
